Answer:
Requirement a. 35.11 Hrs
Requirement b. 125.105 Hrs
Requirement c. 61.782 Hrs
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the learning curve is as under:
Y = aX^2
Here
X is cumulative number of units
Y is cumulative time required for X number of units
a is the time taken for first unit which is 50 hours
b = Log of Learning Curve Percentage / Log 2
Learning Curve Percentage is 80%
This means
b = log 0.8 / log 2 = – 0.322
Requirement A: How long does it take the worker to do the task the third time it is performed?
Now in this case, X is 3 units, Y is unknown, a is 50 hours and b is 80%. By putting the values in the above formula, we have:
Y = 50 Hrs * 3 Units ^-0.322 = 125.105 Hours
Now this Y is cumulative time for unit 1, 2 and 3.
We
Time required for 3rd unit = Y for 3 cumulative units - 50 Hrs for first Unit - Time required for second Unit
Time required for 3rd unit = 125.105 Hours - 50 Hours - 50 Hrs * 2 Units ^-0.322 = 35.11 Hrs
Requirement B:
125.105 Hours are required to work for 3 Units (Calculated above).
Requirement C:
Cumulative time taken for 5 Units = Y = 50 Hrs * 5 Units ^-0.322 = 186.887
Now
Time taken for 4th and 5th units = Cumulative time for 5 Units - Cumulative time taken for 3 Units
By putting values, we have:
Time taken for 4th and 5th units = 186.887 Hrs - 125.105 Hrs = 61.782 Hrs

A project is expected to generate annual revenues of $119,300, with variable costs of $75,400, and fixed costs of $15,900. The annual depreciation is $3,950 and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow?
Hint: Revenue - FC - VC - Depr. = EBIT. Taxes = EBIT x tax rate. OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes (same as chapter 2).
a. $61,143
b. $28,000
c. $19,823
d. $31,950
e. $45,243
Answer:
c. $19,823
Explanation:
For the computation of annual operating cash flow first we need to find out the EBIT and Tax which is shown below:-
EBIT = Revenue - Variable cost - Fixed cost - Depreciation
= $119,300 - $75,400 - $15,900 - $3,950
= $24,050
Tax = EBIT × Tax rate
= $24,050 × 34%
= $8,177
Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $24,050 + $3,950 - $8,177
= $19,823
Hence, the correct option is c.
ABC, Inc. is a calendar-year corporation. Its financial statements for the years 2021 and 2020 contained errors as follows:
2021 2020
Ending inventory $9,000 overstated $24,000 overstated
Depreciation expense $6,000 understated $18,000 overstated
Assume that the proper correcting entries were made at December 31, 2020. By how much will 2021 income before taxes be overstated or understated?
A) $15,000 overstated B) $ 3,000 understated
C) $ 6,000 overstated D) $ 3,000 overstated
Answer: A) $15,000 overstated
Explanation:
Ending Inventory is subtracted from Cost of Goods sold so an overstated Ending Inventory would mean a smaller Cost of Goods sold and hence an overstated Income.
An Understated Depreciation amount would have the same effect because Depreciation is an expense so understating it would mean less expenses subtracted from Income leading to an overstated income.
As both of them will overstate income, the total overstatement would be;
= 9,000 + 6,000
= $15,000

Note: This question is not complete as all the data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Outdoor Lighting Supply expects the following for 2018:
Net cash provided by operating activities of $284,000
Net cash provided by financing activities of $67,000
Net cash provided by investing activities of $76,000
Cash dividends paid to stockholders of $29,000
Outdoor expects to spend $150,000 to modernize its showroom.
How much free cash flow does Outdoor expect for 2018?
Select one:
A. $134,000
B. $112,000
C. $264,000
D. $105,000
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
Free cash flow (FCF) refers to the cash that is generated by a company through its operations minus capital expenditure such as cost of acquiring new assets as well as maintenance Capital expenditure and capital work in progress.
Therefore, free cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
FCF = NCO - Capital expenditure ..................................... (1)
Where, for Outdoor Lighting Supply;
FCF = Free cash flow = ?
NCO = Net cash provided by operating activities = $284,000
Capital expenditure = Amount expected to spend to modernize showroom = $150,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FCF = $284,000 - $150,000
FCF = 134,000
The amount of free cash flow Outdoor expects for 2018 is $134,000. Therefore, the correct option is A. $134,000.

A bond with par value of $1,000 has an annual coupon rate of 4.8% and currently sells for $970. What is the bond’s current yield?
Question:
A bond with par value of $1,000 has an annual coupon rate of 4.8% and currently sells for $970. What is the bond’s current yield?
Assuming a maturity period of 10 years (Note the tutor added this)
Answer:
Yield to Maturity =5.18%
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- years to maturity
YTM-?, C- 4.8%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-970, n- 10
YTM = (48 + (1000-970)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 970) )
YTM = 0.0518 × 100 = 5.18%
Yield to Maturity =5.18%
You purchase one June 70 put contract for a put premium of $4. What is the maximum profit that you could gain from this strategy?
Answer:
$6,600
Explanation:
The payoff arise from put option is max (K - S, 0) - P
Now it would be maximum at S = 0
And, the maximum payoff is
K - 0 - P
= K - P
= 77 - 4
= $66
We assume that for each and every contract the number of shares is 00
So, the maximum profit gained from this strategy is
= $66 × 100 shares
= $6,600
We simply multiplied $66 by the number of shares so that the maximum profit gained could come and the same is to be considered

Monopolistically competitive firms are troublesome to regulate for all of the following reasons, EXCEPT:_________.
a. they comprise a large proportion of the economy.
b. their market and political power renders them virtually untouchable.
c. it could result in fewer choices for consumers.
d. regulating prices only magnifies the inefficiency typical of these firms.
e. the government may be forced to subsidize firms to keep them in business.
Answer: b. their market and political power renders them virtually untouchable.
Explanation:
Monopolistically competitive firms typically comprise a large proportion of the economy and are therefore troublesome to regulate due to their sheer number.
Regulating them could also be troublesome for the economy as it might reduce the options that consumers have as well as exacerbate the inefficiencies of said firms.
They are not however, virtually untouchable as there are a myriad of laws that enable the Government to regulate them if the Government feels it is in the best interest of the consumers.

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $5,910,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $17,730,000 over the 20 years is:________ (round to two decimal points).
a. 30.00%
b. 60.00%
c. 1.50%
d. 15.00%
Answer:
Option A, 30.00%, is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The investment amount = $5910000
Useful life = 20 years
Residual value = 0
Expected net income = $17730000
Use the below formula to find the average rate of return by using the given values.
The average rate of return = Average Annual Net Income / Average investment
Now insert all the given values in the formula in order to compute the average rate of return.
[ ( 17730000 / 20 ) / ( 5910000 / 2 ) ] * 100
[ 886500 / 2955000 ] * 100 =30 %
Review the critical external and internal environmental factors that have strategic implications in the future for Coca Cola1. Are Coca Cola recipients or creators of the market for their products? Why? How is this factored into the decisions of each firm?2. What recommendations can you make to the task force to enhance the effectiveness of Coke's strategy or change the strategic approach for better results?
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1.
First of all we will do SWOT analysis to develop an understanding of the company.
The Strengths of Coca Cola are as under:
Great brand recognition worldwideHighly valued company worldwideOperational in 200 countries across the globeLargest market share in cold beveragesHuge Customer FanSo many acquisition in last 10 yearsThe weaknesses of the company are as under:
Less diversified productsNot recommended by the doctors because of its adverse impact on health. Well known for its environmental issues which includes devastating effect on environment, violation of worker's rights in many countries, usage of water in different communities is so much high that it effects the local farmers.Aggressive competition with Pepsi has effected Coca Cola business operations and profits.The opportunities that must be exploited by the Coca Cola company are as under:
Diversification of products will help the company to grow its market share and improved profits.Specially focus on sales and marketing department in countries which are near the equator because the consumption of cold drinks here is more than countries with cold climate. Package beverages with environmentally friendly material to abandon single use plastic.Improving Supply chain management will increase benefits drawn because of its presence in almost 200 countries.The threats that Coca Cola faces is as under:
Environmental Issues which includes use of single use plastics, water controversy, etc.Raw material resourcing uncertaintyIndirect competitions which includes thousands of Local players in different states across the globe.Requirement 2.
No doubt they are the creators of the market. They set principles for aggressive marketing that was very helpful in gaining market share due to product design that encourage customer to buy, Brand design, Logo and Font, Simplicity of bottles, etc.
These factors are incorporated in each firm's decision making programs and is the reason why it enables the product acceptance by a wide majority of customers. Though the marketing strategy for every single product is different and is largely dependent on the location and availability of the product.
Requirement 3.
Following are some recommendations to Coca Cola Company:
Coca Cola Company must step into food market not because it would help in managing its supply chain but it will also help in building a more diversified product ranges.Infrastructure development which would include franchises of Coca cola that will help it to develop McDonald's like offerings of it own that only offers Coca Cola products. This will increase the market share of Coca Cola company increase its brand recognition as well. Furthermore, it can also add value to its franchises by use of special offers that would increase its franchise sales.The company must resolve its environmental issues to increase its share value as nowadays Dow's and S & P adds value to market price of shares of companies that are environmental friendly. Marketing and distribution team of gulf countries must be given additional budget to increase their sales as their is great demand of products here.Coca cola must introduce health benefiting drinks that they can recommend children to taste as frequent consumption of cold drinks are not recommended by the doctors.Job 607 was recently completed. The following data have been recorded on its job cost sheet:Direct Materials $3,405 Direct Labor Hours 50 labor hoursDirect Labor wage rate $13 per labor hourMachine Hours 158 machine hoursThe company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. The total cost that would be recorded on the job cost sheet for Job 607 would be:
Answer:
Total cost= $6,267
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials $3,405
Direct Labor Hours 50 labor hours
Direct Labor wage rate $13 per labor hour
Machine Hours 158
The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour.
To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 3,405 + 13*50 + 14*158
Total cost= $6,267

The PW of five independent projects have been calculated at an MARR of 12% per year. Select the best combination at a capital investment limit of (a) $25,000, (b) $49,000, and (c) unlimited.
Initial Life,
Project Investment, Years PW,
S -15,000 6 8,540
A - 26,000 8 12,100
M -10,000 6 3,000
E 25,000 4 10
H -40,000 12 15350
Answer:
Project Investment Years PW,
S -15,000 6 8,540
A - 26,000 8 12,100
M -10,000 6 3,000
E 25,000 4 10
H -40,000 12 15350
I assume that the present worth of the projects is their net present value (NPV), so all the projects have a positive NPV. I believe that there is a mistake on project E since the initial outlay is generally negative, no one will pay you to start a project, although it is also the project with the lowest NPV.
a) If I had $25,000, I would invest in projects S and M which will increase my present wealth by $3,000 + $8,540 = $11,540. If something really strange happened and you would actually receive money for starting a project (project E), I would also take it even if its NPV is only $10, since I'm not spending money, instead I'm receiving money.
b) If I had $49,000, I would invest in projects S and A which will increase my present wealth by $8,540 + $12,100 = $20,640. Again, if something really strange happened and you would actually receive money for starting a project (project E), I would also take it.
c) If I had unlimited resources, I would invest in all the projects since they all have positive NPVs.
List and explain how the proportional method works when selling common and preferred stocks for one lump sum amount.
Answer and Explanation:
The proportional method is a method of allocating the fair market value of each security from the lump sum sale on the balance sheet based on the ratio of the value of the security to other securities involved in the sale.
It is calculated : fair market value of security/total lump sum sale
The proportional method is one of the methods used when a company sells in lump sum(usually when a business acquires another) as against when a company sells a particular class of stock such as ordinary stock or preferred stock. Using the proportional method, it is assumed that the fair market value of the classes of stock are known and so the company allocates the ratio of different classes involved on the balance sheet based on each class's fair market value. Another method for accounting for this kind of transaction as in allocating classes of stock from lump sale on the balance sheet is the incremental method

A customer has sold short 100 shares of ABC stock in a margin account. ABC declares and pays a 10% stock dividend. How many shares must be purchased to close out the short position?
A. 90
B. 100
C. 105
D. 110
Answer:
Option D, 110, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Total number of shares that short = 100 share
The rate of dividend that ABC declares and pays = 10%
Now we have to find the number of shares that should be purchased in order to close out the short position.
Number of shares = 100 × 110%
Number of shares = 100 × (110 / 100)
Number of shares = 110
Thus, option D 110 is correct.
What is the bullwhip effect and how does it relate to lack of coordination in a supply chain?
Answer:
The bullwhip effect happens when retailers or other members of the supply chain overestimate a sudden increase in demand, and this causes a chain reaction in all the other participants of the supply chain that start requesting higher quantities of goods or materials for production. E.g. the fidget spinner was a very popular fad and its producers probably didn't anticipate how large the demand would be. Once the product became extremely popular, everyone wanted to sell fidget spinners. This caused an increase in the order quantities of all the supply chain. Once the fad faded out, all this momentum stopped and many stores, distributors, wholesalers, and even factories were left with huge unsold stocks of fidget spinners.
When the supply chain is well coordinated, there is little chance for some retailers or distributors to over react and want more product just in case. If your supply is guaranteed, then it would take some extraordinary increase in demand to make you want to increase your purchase orders. But if your supply chain is not well coordinated, you might fear that you will lose a lot of sales and other competitors will make them. Then you get anxious and start ordering large quantities.
3. Suppose local governments throughout the United States increase their tax on business inventories. What would you expect to happen to U.S. investment? Why?
Answer:
The investment will fall.
Explanation:
The U.S investment will fall because the increase in the tax will reduce its corporate profit and gross domestic investment will fall. Since the primary motive of every firm or company is to earn profit but if their profit decreases then the investor will not invest. Moreover, the company or investor will choose a different country where it can make more profit. Therefore, a rise in tax rate demotivates the investment.
If the local governments increase their tax on business inventories, then, investment will decline.
Basically, when there are increase of tax on business inventories, the country's gross domestic private investment will fall because investor are discouraged to invest.
The gross private domestic investment measure the amount of money that domestic businesses invest within their own country
Hence, the high tax will discourage current and new investors.
In conclusion, If the local governments increase their tax on business inventories, then, investment will decline.
